Building under demolition partially collapses in downtown Seattle KIRO 7 News Staff
Seattle fire crews were called to downtown Seattle after a building under demolition partially collapsed.
A Seattle Fire spokesman said a construction crew was demolishing a building at Third Avenue and Columbia Street when a wall began to overhang onto Third Avenue and was inching toward power lines used by King County Metro Transit around 3:30 p.m.
The Seattle Department of Transportation closed Third Avenue between Columbia Street and Marion Street.
Seattle Fire said the power lines are the primary reason the street is closed.
“If the building collapses and severs these lines, these lines can fly because there’s high tension on them, so as a safety precaution, we want to make sure we close access on both sides of Third Avenue just in case these high voltage lines come down,” said David Cuerpo with Seattle Fire.
